You're only seeing it from one side though. Once upon a time I was close to a high school baseball player being recruited and considered a high draft pick. I can tell you that the phone calls are relentless and often downright inconsiderate. Some kids and parents get so sick of it they will literally say anything just to be left alone. I don't blame them one bit for how they handle the process. Lying to a coach late in the game is one thing but the media won't get any sympathy from me.
